I'm an American, recently relocated from the Upper Midwest (Michigan/Minnesota/South Dakota) to Melbourne. I travel for work and pleasure and have enjoyed seeing quite a bit of the world. At the moment, most of my time is taken up with being a first year faculty member at the university, lots of teaching and doing research/evaluation projects. When I can squeeze in some free time I read, watch movies, bike, coach or play volleyball, and blog (so my family knows I'm still alive). I enjoy folks with a good sense of humor and an easy going attitude. American English is my only language, though I've dabbled in a few others. I enjoy training my ear to different accents and expressions, and learning about other cultures, so I'm likely to ask questions about yours and you're welcome to ask questions about mine.

When I'm your host, I am happy to answer your questions, help you get oriented to my neighborhood and the city, and/or hang out and chat.

When I'm your guest, I'm happy to follow the rules of your house and communicate clearly about my plans as they affect you.

This house was much better than the photos. Very neat, clean and cosy. The room was pretty and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom had everything you need and was really clean. Everything was like new. From the living room, you can see a little garden. It made me feel peace and comfortable.
Amy was the best host I've ever met. She was just perfect. She was very kind. She helped me everything I needed and was happy to share her fridge. She made me feel that I was a house mate, not a guest.
I definitely recommend this house.
Thank you Amy. See you next summer.

As commented on by earlier guests, Amy's house is really well-organised with labels to help you locate anything you might need! This, combined with the beautiful house, made for a superbly comfortable stay! I also loved that Amy was very forthcoming in communicating with me so that I knew when she'd be home, or whether there were friends coming over.

I can tell with a lot of confidence how my time was because i stayed at Amy's house for some time. So I can truly say how a great host she is. It was a wonderful time, everything worked as promised, the house was great. Amy is an amazing person and an excellent host. The location is near public transportation and close to good gardens. This was an experience that I'll remember. I truly recommend.

Really enjoyed this place in Brunswick. The common room was bright and welcoming and perfect for spending the mornings. The internet works! The hot water was hot. The kitchen is the kind you can actually use. Amy is laid back and easy going. She's an ideal host who left me to do my thing but was friendly and helpful when we chatted. Great neighbourhood with easy access to transport. Definitely recommend this place.

I stayed with Amy for just over a week, and loved the stay for the location, the comfy bed and couch, and the generous host! The house itself is gorgeous and filled with natural light. It's located on a quiet street, yet very close to public transport (the tram stop is only a 5min walk away). Amy was very helpful and considerate in making sure my stay was as comfortable as possible, from having a map of transport options already printed, to having sightseeing suggestions ready for my days off, and making sure there was enough space in the fridge for all the cake I was bringing back! (I was doing a pastry course at the time). Overall, a great first experience with Airbnb, I would definitely recommend a stay here.

I had a wonderful stay with Amy, she was so accommodating and helpful for everything I could need during my time In her beautiful home. The house is clean, spacious and has everything you could want or need. The location for the house was perfect for me, being a few stop from the hospitals (where I worked) and a few more into the city (which I fell in love with)!!

Amy's place was perfect for me to get to know the area as I have just relocated from Sydney. Amy is very easy going and made me feel very comfortable, has a great knowledge of the area and a great host. Having your own bathroom was great, the bed is super cozy and comfortable.
Thank you Amy!

Amy has been one of my favourite guests that I've met through Airbnb!!! During her stay with me for 3 weeks, she showed herself to be clean and tidy, respectful and trustworthy. Amy is also fun to be around and a good communicator, so naturally a friendship has grown since her stay with me in Melbourne, and will no doubt continue...

Amy stayed with me for approximately 6-weeks an Airbnb guest back when she first arrived in Melbourne, while she found herself an apartment near Melbourne University. I like that Amy is a responsible and mature professional, but also has a fun and cheeky side. She is great to be around, she is very caaring, and she will no doubt be hospitable throughout your stay with her!

Amy and I met playing volleyball and became great friends. Smart, generous, good sense of humor, always thinking of others. Basically she is an awesome gal! Amy travels quite a bit, but when in Minneapolis she has often stayed in my guest bedroom. She is a very thoughtful guest. On her various visits she has helped shovel a blizzard's worth of snow, painted the bathroom, made delicious oatmeal cookies and the list goes on... In my opinion, Amy is the bees knees!
